Country Roads Confidential - Winning ways are here again Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

Bob Huggins hinted at changes, and he followed through with a new starting lineup and a shorter rotation. Wouldn’t you know it, West Virginia won for the first time in two weeks and swept the season series against Oklahoma State. The second half was better than the first, and a few performances gave Huggins plenty to consider before the upcoming road trip.

Country Roads Confidential - Rapid reaction to the loss to Baylor Feb 16, 2020

Show notes

No harm in losing to the best team in the country, but West Virginia had stretches Saturday that rank among the worst of the season.

Chris and Mike discuss all of that after the breakdowns in Waco and wonder if you can criticize the offense when it doesn’t really run offense.

Country Roads Confidential - Gone with the dust in the wind Feb 13, 2020

Show notes

Kansas pulled some more jewels from West Virginia’s crown, and the Mountaineers are no longer unbeaten at home and now have their first losing streak of the season. The No. 3-ranked Jayhawks turned the game around in the second half and sent WVU staggering toward a road game Saturday against No. 1 Baylor. Chris and Mike meet up to discuss what continues to go wrong, what reasons exist to think it will change and what adjustments they saw against the Jayhawks.

West Virginia improved to 4-0 after a loss with a win Saturday against Kansas State.
